Runway management

Runway management involves coordinating the use of airport runways to ensure aircraft takeoff, landing, and taxiing occur safely and efficiently. It encompasses scheduling departures and arrivals, assigning runways based on aircraft type and weather conditions, and minimizing delays. Air traffic controllers and airport staff work together to balance safety, capacity, and punctuality by monitoring aircraft movements and adjusting plans as needed. Effective runway management is essential for smooth airport operations, reducing congestion, and ensuring passengers and crews reach their destinations safely and on time.
